This idea is highly inspired by Yehuda Devir’s perfect and clever piece and my own personal experiences with my husband. XD Them both are wearing traditional male and female fundoshi.

InuYasha… you…BAKA! Don’t play like that with your woman’s heart!

Twenty seconds of this gorgeous piece just wasn’t enough, so I made an extended version! It’s around 2 minutes, 40 seconds and it sounds best with headphones. Hope you enjoy!! 

some thoughts on ONE and his themes

i’ve been sitting on this for a little bit bc it’s a more personal thing and super tough to articulate besides, but here goes.

Most shounen mangaka center their stories around superpowered teenagers and children, which is just fine! I like wish fulfillment just as much as the next person. But I have to give a shoutout to ONE for doing what I haven’t yet seen another mangaka do, and capturing the particular mid-to-late-20′s sort of mini crisis a lot of people get after college, where they’ve been working justt long enough that they’re starting to stare down the barrel of “is this what i’m going to do forever and ever until i die oh god” and “I have a job and checked off all my ‘accomplishment’ boxes but now am floundering without the structure of childhood and academia”. As someone who went through a complete 180 career change in my early 20s, it means so much to me to see a young-20s character like Reigen, or Saitama, be disillusioned with their careers and switch tracks, or be depressed and unable to find fulfillment in their “same-old” routines, and have that be an important, central point of the story. I relate painfully to Reigen sitting at his desk and thinking about how he was bored and unfulfilled at his old job, and i feel like I can really appreciate the fact that he left it and made a change for himself. I relate to Saitama, if not to his godlike powers then to his feeling of “is there all there is to life? what is there to live for besides just my accomplishments?” It sounds dramatic, but it’s easy as a young adult, especially a financially struggling young adult, to ‘work to live’, and neglect everything else to the point where when you finally stop to take a look around you, you realize you’re not sure what you’re actually living for. What did you dream of doing as a child? What do you want, on your deathbed, your life story to be? your memories to be? 

What does fulfillment even mean? 

With Saitama, ONE answers this question first by pointing out that challenges and obstacles give life meaning. When we watch OPM, we’re not rooting necessarily for Saitama. We root for Mumen Rider, or Genos, or any of the myriad other heroes that we know don’t stand a chance. Saitama’s punch might give catharsis, but the pathos is all in the side characters. And Saitama knows this! the manga is all about Saitama struggling to find meaning in a world without those obstacles. And this leads to ONE’s second answer, through King: life is not just about maxing out your level- it’s also about exploring the game. it’s about collecting every outfit, or talking to every NPC, or befriending all the companions, or completing every side quest. ONE shows us that once you look up from your single minded drive to climb the ladder, there’s a ton more to see! friends to make! hot pot to cook! cool new stuff to investigate and explore with those friends! And this is so comforting to me, as a young adult, to have a piece of media show me that not only is struggling okay and good, but that it doesn’t and shouldn’t consume everything and that there’s more to explore.

With Mob Psycho- god, where to start with Mob Psycho. First of all, I was expecting a typical ‘everyone’s 12-14 years old and OP as fuck’ shounen. I was not expecting one of the central characters to be Reigen “I’m almost 30 and I’ve switched careers and am not succeeding in the traditional sense” Arataka, or that another central character would be Serizawa “I AM 30 and I  d e f i n i t e l y  switched careers and have doubly not been successful in the traditional sense” Katsuya. Both these characters struggle with the same question in different ways. Serizawa has a more straightforward narrative: he shows us that it’s never too late to turn your life around. At 30, socially anxious and with nothing on his resume besides “dropped out of middle school to become a terrorist”, Serizawa gets a haircut, gets his act together, goes back to get his degree, and by the end of the manga is not only well on his way to academic success but is really becoming his own person, with a supportive friend group, self confidence, and his own hobbies and interests. Reigen struggles to find meaning in his life beyond just being a boring salaryman - to “become someone” - and eventually through lifting his head up from the daily hustle and opening himself to others, realizes that he HAS become someone, though perhaps in a different way than he expected: he has become a very important person to all of the esper kids and to Serizawa, and through influencing them he becomes the backbone of the manga itself. Reigen shows us that personal growth can be nontraditional, and responsibility can be scary, but both lead to fulfillment. 

I never truly thought about these kinds of things when I was younger, because I wasn’t living them. and the beauty of it is that both OPM and MP100 can be read by an audience without them; they can be enjoyed just for their comedy and their crazy nuts action scenes. But ONE put in characters struggling with these young-but-not-SUPER-young-adult issues, and it makes me, at least, feel seen. It makes me feel like I’m not alone in worrying about these things, in fearing the mundanity of routine, in struggling to find meaning in life while I’ve got the strength to grasp it. And it makes me feel like becoming an adult doesn’t have to be such a bad thing, after all. 

I miss them…

my skin and lips tends to become extremely dry, dull and flaky in the winter months due to freezing weather and drying indoor heating, so here are some tips to help you guys out!

• moisturize!! seriously!! twice a day!!! this balances out oily/ dry patches of you skin, and will reduce inflammation if you have sensitive skin (like mee)

• you don’t need to exfoliate too often, i use my face scrub once a week (variable depending on your skin type), this boosts skin regeneration and makes product absorption better 

• drinks loads of water, or green tea, or herbal teas, or warm water with lemon e.t.c whatever keeps you hydrated! it’s so easy to forget when you’re busy, so carry a water bottle wherever you go, and aim to drink all of it by the end of the day for example

• eat foods with high water-content, examples include strawberries, apples, oranges and veggies like celery and cucumber. an adequate diet will benefit your skin and well as ur physical health

• use organic, good-quality lip balm, ones like burt’s bees, pangea organics, the body shop will really help chapped lips

• remove dead skin from your lips by wetting them with luke-warm water, and scrubbing them dry with a towel. my friend said scru cream is a good exfoliater, but i haven’t tried it

• get enough sleep!! if you’re sleep-deprived, your body produces the stress hormone cortisol, which will stress out your skin, and cause inflammation

I want to apologise to

- Britney for making fun of her when she had her breakdown

- Monica Lewinski for judging her when she was a 22year old temp sexually assaulted by the most powerful man in the world

- Ke$ha for ever thinking she was trashy when all she wanted to do was make party music

- Kristen Stewart for ever thinking she was dumb when she’s actually one of the coolest people ever

- Megan Fox for ever thinking she was just a slut when actually she was an actress being harassed by her employer. 

- Hating all the women who made a career out of having a hot body. Being is shape is hard, beauty is a weapon and auto promotion is hard work. 

- All the Mary-Sues, who exist because young girls everywhere want to be part of a story they love so much

- All the female characters I ever snobbed because they got in the way of my ship.

- Hating the color pink during my teenage years, when it’s actually a lovely color and what I resented was society’s pressure to perform femininity. 

She was not fragile like a flower; She was fragile like a bomb.

Poetry At Most

-While it is disheartening to see that this quote has been misattributed to so many other authors by companies only looking to gain profit, I am humbled to see how many lives it has touched. Though it’s meaning is individual to each of us, it was originally written to remind us all of the fire that burns inside of us and the immensity that we are capable of. I am forever grateful to all of you for your kind words over the years, and I hope you continue to recognize your ability to spark change, in a world that still needs so much of it.
